1 Corinthians 6

  • 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
  • 6:2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
  • 6:3 Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
  • 6:4 If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
  • 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brothers?
  • 6:6 But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
  • 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because you go to law one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
  • 6:8 No, you do wrong, and defraud, and that your brothers.
  • 6:9 Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?  Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
  • 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
  • 6:11 And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
  • 6:12 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
  • 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
  • 6:14 And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
  • 6:15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
  • 6:16 What? know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?  for two, said he, shall be one flesh.
  • 6:17 But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
  • 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
  • 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
  • 6:20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 5

  • 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
  • 5:2 And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.
  • 5:3 For I truly, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that has so done this deed,
  • 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  • 5:5 To deliver such an one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
  • 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
  • 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
  • 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
  • 5:9 I wrote to you in an letter not to company with fornicators:
  • 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortionists, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world.
  • 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortionist; with such an one no not to eat.
  • 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within?
  • 5:13 But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1 Corinthians 4

  • 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
  • 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
  • 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
  • 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges me is the Lord.
  • 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
  • 4:6 And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
  • 4:7 For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
  • 4:8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
  • 4:9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
  • 4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
  • 4:11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
  • 4:12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
  • 4:13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things to this day.
  • 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
  • 4:15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
  • 4:16 Why I beseech you, be you followers of me.
  • 4:17 For this cause have I sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
  • 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
  • 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
  • 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
  • 4:21 What will you? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

1 Corinthians 3

  • 3:1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
  • 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for till now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
  • 3:3 For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
  • 3:4 For while one said, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?
  • 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
  • 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
  • 3:7 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
  • 3:8 Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
  • 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
  • 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
  • 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
  • 3:12 Now if any man build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
  • 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
  • 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
  • 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
  • 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
  • 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
  • 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
  • 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
  • 3:20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
  • 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;
  • 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;
  • 3:23 And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

1 Corinthians 2

  • 2:1 And I, brothers, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
  • 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
  • 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
  • 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
  • 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
  • 2:6 However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing:
  • 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory:
  • 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
  • 2:9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.
  • 2:10 But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
  • 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
  • 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
  • 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
  • 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
  • 2:15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
  • 2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?  But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 1

  • 1:1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
  • 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their’s and our’s:
  • 1:3 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
  • 1:5 That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
  • 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
  • 1:7 So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
  • 1:8 Who shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
  • 1:10 Now I beseech you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
  • 1:11 For it has been declared to me of you, my brothers, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
  • 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you said, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
  • 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
  • 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
  • 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
  • 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
  • 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
  • 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.
  • 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
  • 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
  • 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
  • 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
  • 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
  • 1:24 But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
  • 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
  • 1:26 For you see your calling, brothers, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
  • 1:27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
  • 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:
  • 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
  • 1:30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
  • 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
